Except doesn't the lock happen -after- the method has started with a
synchronized block, and -before- the method starts with the
synchronized method keyword? I'm not sure at all.
I don't know enough about JVMs to know if there is a difference, or
if:
public synchronized void gar() { ...
..just compiles down to:
public void gar() {
synchronized(this) { ...
...in the end, or if it works more like (in a calling method):
Spock spock = new Spock();
synchronized(spock) {
spock.gar();
}
I don't know if it even matters, really. 'Swhy I asked in the first
place. B-)
